You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Ah, saying we can't gain any advantage is a euphemism; in reality, we can't win at all.

Even if you're usually a bit eccentric...

Even though he has been far removed from struggle and has lived a life of luxury on his jade throne while wearing a half-naked feathered robe for over a thousand years...

Celestia is still an elven demigod who transcends her rank.

However, Rosalia is not without a chance of winning.

Compared to Celeste, her advantage lies in possessing half a continent's territory and a large number of powerful demon subordinates.

On the other hand, there is no territory of the "Eternal Queen" in this world.

Here, she cannot obtain the faith support from the Goddess of the White Night or the citizens of the Sacred Tree.

Although Celestia still possessed invincible power and divinity, it had become a consumable resource that could not be restored or replenished.

So, Rosalia just needs to keep sending out her demonic minions to gradually diminish her divinity.

When Celestia's divinity reached zero, rendering her unable to use her powers...

At that time, she and her adorable little hero will become Rosalia's playthings.

Just wait, Celeste...

I will play with little Yuri to my heart's content in front of you, making you so envious you'll bite your handkerchief...

"Hehe...hehehe...heheha ...

The Demon Queen Rosa covered her lips, laughing hysterically on her throne.

Below, the demon minister wore an expression of both surprise and admiration.

"Oh, as expected of the Demon Lord! Even though the princess escaped, he didn't seem to care at all and handled it with ease!" "Of course, the Demon Lord is the strongest in the world!"

"My Four Heavenly Kings, do you have any strategies to offer regarding intercepting the hero and the princess?"

Demon Queen Rosa regained her composure and asked her confidante.

"Demon King, please allow me to deal with the hateful hero and princess."

A sexy, scantily clad female demon with black horns and a devil's tail silently knelt before the Demon King Rosa.

She was not one of the ministers, but a 3D image.

In other words, she is one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Lilith the Succubus, will you share my burdens, defeat the hero, and capture the princess?"

Demon Queen Rosa raised an eyebrow.

Lilith, the queen of the succubus race.

She is the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings in terms of combat strength.

Let her be the first to die... well, to wear down Celeste is the most suitable choice.

Demon Queen Rosa was very pleased with her self-recommendation.

"Yes, Demon Lord. I am confident that I can ensure the hero and princess will no longer be a threat to you."

"The succubus Lilith said, bowing her head."

Demon Queen Rosa became interested: "A sure thing?"

The villains in the story are always blindly confident, and Rosalia doesn't believe she has even the slightest chance of winning against her best friend.

Even so, the other party was a warrior who was truly willing to fight for her. Although he was just a demon from a singularity, Rosalia still intended to flatter him.

A sly smile appeared on the succubus's face.

"The prophecy says that the reason why weak heroes and princesses can become a threat to the Demon King is because they have the 'protection of heroes' and the 'protection of goddesses'."

These two skills can break through your invincible defense, "Demon King's Blessing," and inflict damage on your body.

“That’s right.” Demon Queen Rosa nodded.

Each of the three received a blessing upon arriving at this singularity.

Rosalia is blessed by the Demon King (invincible), while Yuri and Celestia are blessed by the Hero/Goddess (invincible penetration).

According to the world's setting, the Demon King is an invincible being who is impervious to swords and spears and immune to all magic.

No human or demon could harm her in the slightest, no matter what they did, because of the skill "Demon King's Blessing".

The reason the hero and the princess were able to defeat the Demon King was because they had a protective blessing specifically designed to counter the Demon King.

Of course, this was just the original setting.

"The Demon King's Blessing" is ultimately nothing more than a defensive skill that transcends its rank, granting immunity to all conventional damage.

Even without the "Goddess's Blessing," Celestia can still inflict damage by consuming her own divinity.

But this, in turn, became a burden for Celeste herself.

Each time she attacks Rosalia, she has to expend some of her divinity.

When the two start fighting, as long as they can drag it into a war of attrition, the scales of victory will gradually tip in Rosalia's favor.

Therefore, if possible, Rosalia also wants to remove the blessings from Yuri and Celeste.

"I have a way to make the hero and the princess lose their protective skills," the succubus Lilith said smugly.

"Oh?"

The succubus Lilith smiled seductively: "After investigating human history, I discovered that the abominable blessings bestowed upon heroes and princesses actually have a necessary condition."

That is, only pure and innocent humans can maintain the protection.

The 10-year-old hero and the unmarried princess must remain virgins to maintain the hero's and goddess's protection.

Conversely...

If both of them lose their purity, the protective skills that make you uneasy, Lord Demon King, will lose their effect.

The specific method is that I will cast an aphrodisiac spell on them, making them…

"no!"

Rosalia's eyes widened as she rose from her throne, hastily interrupting the succubus's speech.

“…Huh?” The succubus Lilith blinked.

Demon Queen Rosa realized her lapse in composure and sat back down on her throne, her cheeks flushed.

"No... I mean, if possible... I want to capture the hero and the princess alive while preserving their protection."

What a joke!

Isn't that just physically bringing Yuri and Celeste together? How could I possibly let you do something like that!

I absolutely disagree! Wouldn't that make me Ceres's butt-pushing assistant?!

Rosalia has always known that her best friend is after Yuri, and she won't let her succeed.

"——————"

The Demon King's castle was completely silent.

The succubus Lilith proposed the most feasible method at the moment, but it was strongly rejected by the Demon King, so it's only natural that morale would be low...

"Oh my god, as expected of the Demon King!" "He's so evil and terrifying!"

For some reason, the demon ministers cheered.

"Are you planning to conduct human experiments on the hero and princess while they are under your protection?" "As expected of our king, so ruthless!"

Rosalia: "…………"

My subordinates seem to be a bunch of idiots. Is it really okay to let them challenge Yuri?

In comparison, Lilith is more reliable.

Rosalia glanced at the dejected succubus: But no, that plan absolutely cannot be adopted!

Just then, another of the Four Heavenly Kings stepped forward.

"My Lord Demon King, please entrust me with the task of capturing the hero and the princess."

“Oh, you are…” Demon Queen Rosa narrowed her eyes.

It was a demon wearing a tattered black robe, exuding a chilling aura of death.

What appeared beneath the black hood was not a human face, nor even a monster's face—

Instead, it was a skeleton with bare white bones, and two ghostly flames were leaping in its deep eye sockets.

He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King, and also the strongest magician in the Demon King's army.

Leoric, the Lich King of the Undead!

"Hey, Leoric! Shut up! I was here first!" Lilith protested loudly.

Leoric scoffed: "Hmph, the Demon King has already rejected your plan... How could such an important task be entrusted to a little girl who only knows mind control!"

"..."

Rosalia remained silent.

Lich...

Indeed, if warrior-type demons were sent out, it would be impossible to break through Celeste's divinity head-on.

But if it's a mage-type demon, they might be able to bypass Celeste...

"Okay, Leoric!"

"exist."

The undead mage knelt on one knee beneath the throne, his skeletal face beneath his black robes displaying a victor's smile—if it could be called a smile.

"You shall set out immediately and bring the hero to me by all means."

"Yes, sir. I will take the princess with me... uh, you mean the hero?"

Rosalia nodded: "The princess is fine as she is... That woman is not quite right, you should try to avoid confrontation with her."

"Understood, Lord Demon King."
